DrJPT - thank you but my momma always told me not to take undo credit
The eBook is a promotional tool. Though it is truly a directory of great free stuff, I immediately reap benefits from its distribution, primarly in web traffic. There are also a number of my affiliate links buried in this eBook. The point of mentioning this is that monetary rewards, though nice, are not the always readily forthcoming, at least initially. By giving this eBook away free and encouraging others to use it as a traffic generating tool for their own websites, it has an important viral web traffic element to it. For anyone who is planing an electronic medium endeavour, I suggest that expectations are kept in check. Straight sales of any electronic book are hard to propigate but if the book itself is used as a promotional tool, it can glean any manner of other types of sales.

Thanks
I have contemplated composing a book.  I cannot seem to get the motivation.  Using this may help.  I agree with the others, this is very generous!!

elysiafields - my generosity does know some bounds however
You are correct, it is a lot of work but it is self serving. Giving away a free eBook can be a great web traffic generating tool. I updated this eBook and re-released it in conjunction with a web forum that I am starting up. Anyone can stop bye and leave technincal questions or advice or whatever. It is also a good place to promote one's works from, its still being cosmetically overhauled but most functions work and people are beginning drop bye. It can be found HERE

That's a huge amount of work that you're offering for free.  That's very generous. Thanks G
